Richmond Humidity, Dew Point & Outdoor Air
Richmond summers often feel muggy because warm air can hold substantial moisture. Relative humidity tells you how close the air is to saturation at its current temperature; dew point is a more direct guide to how much moisture is in the air. A high dew point usually means the air will feel more humid, even when the temperature changes.
For deciding whether to open windows, temperature is only one factor. Compare indoor and outdoor comfort, check pollen and the Air Quality Index, and be cautious during smoke events or periods of poor air quality. Window Weather combines several outdoor indicators to help make that judgment, while the official forecast and AirNow remain the sources to check for current conditions and alerts.

Window Weather: when fresh air makes sense
Richmond's weather can shift quickly between warm, humid afternoons, cool mornings, pollen-heavy spring days, and the occasional stretch when outdoor air is smoky or poor in quality. Opening a window is not only about temperature: humidity, dew point, air quality, and allergens all matter.
Window Weather is intended to bring those factors together in a practical way, helping visitors judge whether outdoor conditions may be better for ventilation than keeping the house closed up. It complements — rather than replaces — the standard forecast and local air-quality information.
